Abstract

This chapter outlines spatial health systems and discusses issues regarding their technical implementation and employment. This concerns in particular diseases which manifest themselves in the spatiotemporal behaviours of patients, showing patterns that enable conclusions about their underlying well-being. While a general overview is given, as an example the case of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is examined more carefully in order to treat different aspects detailed enough. Especially, wearable and ambient technologies, activity recognition techniques as well as ethical aspects are discussed. The given literature review ranges from basic methods of Artificial Intelligence research to commercial products which are already available from the industry.
